Joe D.Edit to say: I guess I did pay via PayPal - my memory is shot!
with the holidays - there was no way for me to view it/return it in time to meet the sellers return policy -- so the item is mine for better or worse. The seller's good feedback and similar looking vintage items gave me confidence... and it was one of those auctions that I noticed toward the end of the auction -- so I had to make a quick decision.
I did purchase a black light and will look at the image tonight and post what I find.
If it shines brightly under blacklight, that means it is not vintage? correct? What clues am I looking for when using the blacklight?
btw, here is the back.... the staining is actually lighter than it appears in the scan...
